Rooted Parent

Being a parent can be isolating in any number of ways. In this episode of the Rooted Parent Podcast, Cameron and Anna discuss the enormous comfort believers derive from the continuous presence of Christ, who will never leave us or forsake us.

In this episode, Cameron and Anna discuss the riches of the doctrine of adoption. If parents can begin to grasp the reality that we are in fact God's adopted children, we can disciple our own children out of the perfect parenting of our heavenly Father, rather than the imperfect parenting of our earthly parents. Taking hold of the riches of our adoption- our status, our belonging, and our secure belovedness in God's family- all this is a true game-changer for parents who long to love their children well.

If Christian parents can begin to live out the truth that they have the righteousness of Christ and no longer have anything to prove, they will be free to love their children even more. In this episode of the Rooted Parent podcast, Cameron and Anna unpack the doctrine of justification. Of all the glorious benefits of our salvation (Psalm 103:2), justification is one of our favorites.
